Below are a list of movies that are in production, pre-production, or rumored to be in some form of production at some time. Many of them have been "coming attractions" for several years and will likely never be finished or, indeed, ever really started. If and when these movies are actually released they will be moved to the main section.

John Borowski, 2007
A docu-drama about cannibalistic child killer Albert Fish, who was executed for having murdered and eaten a young girl named Grace Budd. This film dramatizes the exploits of a man who may have been America's first real serial killer.
A planned anthology project which will combine short subjects done by different groups. Already on tap are Gary Miller's "Beauty Pageant" and Black Rose's "Jungle Drums." Production problems have pretty much killed this project, so don't expect to ever actually see it.
Tony Sinclair
Despite the description in the "Scream Queens" special edition of "High Society" magazine, This shot-on-video movie is about a family of cannibals who run a costume shop. Their crazy son, junior, thinks he's leatherface from "Texas Chainsaw Massacre." Lot's of pretty girls get cut up and cooked. Made by Tony Sinclair of Sinclair Blue Productions (which normally makes borderline porno tickle-fetish videotapes), this project was never completed, but may still be released sometime.
Relevant Films, 2009 (remake)
* A proposed remake of the 1980 Ruggero Deodato classic. It is listed as "pre-production", whch means that nothing is concrete yet, but despite this it is already causing controversy. Fans of the original feel that a "Hollywood" version of the film will ruin the original's iconoclastic reputation. They may have a point, but I am not seeing that this is a "Hollywood" film.
aka Cannibal Metropolitiana
Ruggero Deodato 2009 (Italy)
There have been a lot of movies that have called themselves "Cannibal Holocaust 2" but none of them were officially a sequel to the Ruggero Deodato classic of gory Italian Cannibal Cinema. Deodato has long been talking about doing CH2, but now it appears as though he is going to fulfill his promise. Deodato has confirmed that he will direct Cannibal Metropolitiana for a planned 2009 release.
A major Hollywood movie said to be in production but which has not seemed to have materialized. No other real information on it. Given that both "Ravenous" and "The 13th Warrior" (which were it's contemporaries on the production charts) never delivered at the box office as hoped, this one will likely be confined to production limbo. If "Hannibal Rising" is a hit, this may resurface.
Russell Deane
Based on the book "A Cookbook for Cannibals" by "Chef Sal Monella," this promises to be a "sexy and satirical account of mankind's oldest and ultimate taboo." Only the "Jungle Drums" short was ever produced and it seems unlikely that any more of it will ever be done. But, then again, you never know.
Gregg Simon, Red Gourmet Films 2008
A sorority house gets a new chef. Guess what? Yeah, he's a cannibal cook! Guess what it is that he cooks? Here's a hint: the girls keep disappering mysteriously. What happens to them? Yeah, I don't have to tell you. Planned for a 2008 release.
Synthetic Fur
Ravenous flesh-eating monsters from outer space attack a group of hunters in a remote wilderness in this horror indie being produced by North Carolina based Synthetic Fur. It's easier to take these pre-production rumors seriously when the films actually have a website. OK, so it's not precisely cannibals, but it is people-eating vore so it's close enough. Release TBD.
"Hot Actresses Make an Independent Horror Film," touts the official movie website. This indie flick is about a secret group of elite cannibals that like to hunt young and sexy prey in the woods and dine on their flesh at periodic gatherings of the clan. The filmmakers offer quite a lot of hype, but nothing in the way of plans to actually finish and release the film.
Listed as "in production" for a 2007 release. The given description sounds pretty much like a remake of C.H.U.D. Writing credits are given to Ron Bonk and Scott Muck. I take this with a grain of salt.
Another black comedy about a less than completely socially adjusted chef, who has a more than just romantic interest in beautiful women.
Supposedly a "holiday" horror film about cannibal elves and a vampire Santa. I'll believe it when I see it.
Xavier Gens
In (pre) production as of November 2007, the film's director describes it as, “a film about a group of shipwrecked guys on an island full of cannibals. It's totally over-the-top, but likely to be a lot of fun”. Probably not so much fun if it's just "a bunch of guys."
